$fc-list | grep -i nafees shows Nafees,Nafees Web Naskh:style=Regular Nafees,Nafees Riqa:style=Regular The KDE-apps pick "Nafees" as the name of the font instead of "Nafees Web Naskh"

The font-installer in KDE 3.5.7 (Slack 12) works fine, but for one font, in which case it cannot pick the name of the font. In KDE 3.3, this font was installable without problem. The font in question is here: http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/t/ttf-nafees/ And the name of the font is supposed to be "Nafees Web Naskh"

I am told that this can be handled with Unicode control characters, namely RLE. So there is no need for HTML!

I forgot to set the LANG environment variable to UTF-8, e.g., export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 With this it works. Kedit can save Urdu files in Unicode.

According to KMail handbook, this is not possible. You can always send the image as an attachment.

An important HTML tag needed by users of RTL languages is "dir=rtl". This is not the same as right-aligned. This need is particularly felt, when you are mixing english words in the text of a RTL language. The KMail composer does not have the facility of inserting HTML tags. Nor does it seem to allow editing the HTML source of an outgoing message.

Incidentally, I am using KDE 3.3 with Qt 3.3.3.

Kedit/Kate cannot save files with Urdu text although I have configured the encoding to UTF-8. The saved file reads as "???????????" The Urdu text files can be saved correctly in KOffice. Kwrite also gives an error that "The document could not be saved, as the selected encoding cannot encode every unicode character in it. If you are unsure of which encoding to use, try UTF-8 or UTF-16." The encoding is already UTF-8 in the configuration and Urdu characters are certainly UTF-8. Urdu (Arabic) looks...

Is there a way to setup a p2p chat without using any service (yahoo etc). That is, just knowing the IP address of the other party, can a direct connection be established. Is there a plugin for such a thing?

I have KDE 3.3.0 installed with X.org. Got Kopete source, running ./Configure gives the following error: ..... checking for kde... /opt/kde/lib headers /opt/kde/include Checking if UIC has KDE plugins available ... no configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first. Needless to say, that I do have kdelibs package installed.
